I was so sharp and so ready for this fight I cannot believe what has happened. The talk of me being off while walking in to the fight is nonsense. I was calm, ready, and confident. I am in shock what has taken place. The devil is literally staring at me right in front of my face here. I am not engaging. I will be at church tomorrow.
I will overcome this.
I will not be deterred.
I will return.
Conor McGregor says he wasn't drinking heavily around 2017, but felt "caught and trapped" by Proper No. Twelve pushing him to constantly promote alcohol:
"2017 - double weight world champion, Floyd Mayweather banked, and then I launch an Irish whiskey.
I didn't drink heavily, if at all, in that time of my life. I was an athlete at the top of my game. Next thing you know there's thousands upon thousands of bottles in my garage.
'Sell this Conor'. 'Okay'. I'd leave my property with two bottles under my arm. And that was it.
God gave me these lessons, that's it. I was trapped and caught and it is what it is. I trust in God, I trust in my journey."
